1 God calls the judges into his courtroom,he puts all the judges in the dock.
2-4 “Enough! You’ve corrupted justice long enough,you’ve let the wicked get away with murder.You’re here to defend the defenseless,to make sure that underdogs get a fair break;Your job is to stand up for the powerless,and prosecute all those who exploit them.”
5 Ignorant judges! Head-in-the-sand judges!They haven’t a clue to what’s going on.And now everything’s falling apart,the world’s coming unglued.
6-7 “I commissioned you judges, each one of you,deputies of the High God,But you’ve betrayed your commissionand now you’re stripped of your rank, busted.”
8 O God, give them their just deserts!You’ve got the whole world in your hands!
